It’s all about the giant tree. And the performances. And the Radio City Rockettes, celebrating their 100th year. The tree-lighting ceremony from iconic Rockefeller Center, home to NBC‘s 30 Rock headquarters, is nearly as long-standing a tradition, dating back to 1931. (It was televised for the first time in 1951.) Country-music legend Reba McEntire (of The Voice and Happy’s Place) hosts the special for the first time, joined by fellow Voice coach Michael Bublé, with more music from Marc Anthony, Halle Bailey, Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth, Laufey, New Edition, Brad Paisley, Carly Pearce, Gwen Stefani — and the amazing Rockettes. The festivities are capped by the lighting of the 75-foot-tall, 45-foot-wide, 11-ton Norway Spruce from upstate New York, with some 50,000 LED lights illuminating the plaza. Christmas time is here.
